College of Continuing Education

The College of Continuing Education

The purpose of the college of education is to design and offer programs that enable students acquire skills that marketable, enabling the graduate to be competitive in the market place or create businesses of their own. Relying on collaborative work between the College of Business and Economics and the College of Engineering and Technology, we have designed programs that address the need for companies to maximize efficiency, create and sustain world class quality, optimize supply chain delivery, and minimize waste in general. Our certificate programs are some of the most affordable for the quality of the education that we offer. Please review our certificate programs and the tuition and tuition payment table.

Tuition monthly payment plans

NIU’s students may pay tuition monthly for 24 months to 60 months and graduate without debt. Payments vary between $250 and $500 per month, which is a bargain compared to programs offered by most online universities and brick and mortar universities across the United States of America

Low Tuition and No Debt

Remember that our tuition is among the lowest in the United States of America when compared to universities that offer quality programs

An inclusive environment

We are offering degrees with the intent to reach many students worldwide regardless of their location as long as they reside in an area that offers them access to high speed internet. We believe in he success our students, faculty, and employees; thus we treat them with dignity and do not tolerate discrimination or plagiarism of any sort

In all our graduate business degrees, students receive a general management foundation allowing them to analyze complex business dilemmas. They then get use to thinking strategically in dynamic business contexts, to resolve variations, and to think beyond the short-term and the mid-term. They may do so by exploring solutions or visions that ensure business sustainability.
We offer different master programs that give enough depth and breadth to students allowing them to excel in various functions and to open businesses of their own. In our undergraduate programs we emphasize the use of data, the breath in business, economics, or engineering; and corporate social responsibility. In 2016, we will add more degree programs and certificate programs to better fulfill the need for affordable quality education

Certificate programs: Low investments with a high return

At start, we offer eight certificate programs that train students on skills that immediately add value to organizations: Lean, Six Sigma, operation management, project management, production management, quality management, service operation management, sport management, and supply chain management. The certificate programs may generally lat eight to sixteen week. Students with bachelor degrees in any field may enroll the certificate programs

We are volunteering for accreditation

We would like the public and our customers to know that quality comes first in all that we do. We are applying for IACBE accreditation, and will maintain a transparent quality assurance process. We are also bench-marking our programs and processes to the best programs and to a few institutional accrediting agencies recognized by the United States (US) Government.
